Hey Wilco,

How do you rate the Steam Link and Steam Controller so far? Are they worth a purchase?

Steam Link for me absolutely yes, works has intended, I’m able to stream from the desktop PC to the tv without any hiccups. I do have to keep it wired because the wireless network in my house is not very good and it keeps pausing. But using a wired network I never had any problems so far. Been using not just for games but also streaming videos. It’s also possible to hook up various controllers to it like the X360 or Xone, not just the Steam controller.

Steam Controller I’m still undecided. I like it for mimicking the mouse in some cases. Point and click adventures, strategy games seems cool. FPS games I’ve read some opinions it was better than a standard controller but I tried HL2 and failed miserably, mouse+keyboard still much better. Also feels a bit weird at first since I think it’s bigger than than most controllers but I’m getting used to that. Third person games or platformers I always prefer using other controller. Might take a bit of getting used to it. One cool thing is that it’s possible to customize every button it has and also mess with the trackpad sensibility. Than you can save your preferences for each game and even upload it so anyone in steam community can use it. I’ve already seen some cases where I just used something stored in there and was great (Undertale, for example).

Assassins Creed Syndicate reviews are out and are not bad! Al least is seems it’s not broken like Unity… 19th century parkour is on! 

Anyone saw what happened at the Sony conference in Paris?

Seems like a good line-up, can’t wait to see it. any news about backwards compatibility for the PS4?

I don’t get it why they don’t just but those PS1 and PS2 games on PS4… So annoying

Detroit looks interesting, Wild and Horizon looked amazing

Every time I see No man’s sky, I get less and less interested in it. It doesn’t seem to have much variety in such a big universe.

Every emotion towards it is procedural

Its resource gathering and survival till you reach final point in the galaxy.
Its gonna be good exploring time burner.

Wild looked just ok, nothing spectacular.
Horizon looks rough, needs alot of polish.
GT was a good surprise.
Detroit was cookie cutter, looked ok with cheesy scenes.
Whats with French fixation on the Detroit as Cyberpunk hub?
DeusEx now this.
And that kara chick , got bored of her already after The Following.
Well , not much excited about QuanticDream new project but atleast there is an alternative in Supermassive if all fails.

@wilco

Yeah Asscreed looked good this time, definitely gonna give it a try , because leads and story feels good also the setting and characters.
Despite the reviews its still barebones in gameplay and least selling Asscreed
ever next to Rogue so thats a good sign.

I agree, to me it seems like tons of beautiful empty space with little exciting stuff to do.

I’ve put some time into it, combat is same old easy stuff but the mission variety and controls are better. 2 playing protagonists are cool and London setting is good.
No doubt sales are slowing down a lot, the Unity debacle last year probably is hurting this one.
I think they’ll release one next year because the movie is coming out and maybe stop if the sales continues to go down. Then they’ll release the Assassins Creed with Kojima

I think the problem is that we’ve been seen the game too many times showing up in all conferences for the last 2 years. The premise is still the same since the beginning.

Platinum keeps on delivering,

Nier Automata gameplay, 60 fps.

Damn, son.
